| Evansville Police Officers and Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Deputies joined the staff of Cedar Hall School yesterday for their 2018 Walt Disney World trip reveal.
At the school wide assembly our law enforcement professionals  announced that 16 students will travel to Walt Disney World as part of the “Cops Connecting With Kids” program in January, 2018. The group will take 48 kids in total from McGary Middle School, Glenwood Leadership Academy, and Cedar Hall. The McGary kids found out they earned their trip on Monday. The Glenwood kids will find out on Friday morning during their 9:00am assembly. The “Cops Connecting With Kids Disney” trip is completely funded through a sponsorship program and fundraisers. The goal of the “Cops Connecting With Kids” program is to build relationships with kids through positive interactions with law enforcement. In the first three years of the program, 118 kids earned an all expenses paid trip to the Disney theme parks. The 2018 trip will bring the total to 166 kids. |
First of all, why only those three schools? No other schools had kids worthy to be taken? Or do they just not fit the criteria? Second, one more program so typical of this police administration. Raise money for parks, kids’s trips, and other splashy, non-policing programs to make friends and get good P.R., but how does that stop robberies, burglaries, murders; or improve the public’s perceptions of the probability of being a victim of a crime?
